Jaques Lamure Chords (ver.1)

the chord pattern in this song is really weird, yet pretty brilliant.
C F
Jacques Lamure is a volunteer fireman
Em A
He longs to give his life
Ab C#
Saving a nice old man and his wife
Bb
When their house is filled with flames
G
Earning him honor and fame
C F
Jacques Lamure is a foreman at a clock factory
Em A
He wishes he were boss
Ab C#
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss
Bb
Who always puts him down
G
When Megan Blanchard is around
Dm
He told himself last year
C
that when springtime was here
Bb C#
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door
Ab Cm
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand
A
His dear Meg to take his hand
B E
And to be his forever more
E7
But of course he didn't dare
A F#
and pretended not to care
G C
About the insult or the loss
C# D A F#
When he found out she'd married William Moss
C
Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
F
every other Friday night
Em A
He likes the westerns best
Ab C#
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest
Bb
Than that weird guy who never says a word
G
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard
Dm C
He realized one day that he didn't have to stay
Bb C#
That he could move as far away as planes could fly
Ab
He chuckled as he mused
Cm
About the people who had rused him
A B
And how shocked and confused that they would be
E E7
When he says goodbye and never turns around
A F#
Never returns to that miserable town
G C
Then as weeks passed he soon did find
C# D A F#
This move had greatly improved his state of mind
